Einstandspflichten und gestörte Gesamtschuld in der Vorstandshaftung

Board directors’ liability is rarely a one-man show, but rather an ensemble with members of the corporation’s supervisory board and its employees. The author discusses how this interaction is to be arranged harmoniously and raises questions of their joint liability that have barely been debated before: How do the liable parties relate to each other? Which interaction exists between the directors’ joint and several liability and an objection of contributory negligence? How to deal with the employees’ liability privilege? In the search for dogmatically coherent answers, the author often opposes the prevailing opinion, while not losing sight of the needs of the practice.
